I had my DC 16 months ago and completely lost my sex drive and it hasn't come back.
I do believe it's hormonal/biological somehow as there haven't been issues between DH and I and also my sex drive has universally gone. Eg I no longer think of other men I see in a remotely sexual way, no longer enjoy sex toys etc. I've always had an extremely high sex drive and it's completely changed.
I kept thinking it would go back to normal on its own and then I sort of started to enjoy it. My sex drive has always been higher than DHs and it was nice just not to care anymore about sex or have the insecurity and need for validation that comes with it.
In the last couple of months I've been getting really hot suddenly (eg going out with everyone in big coats and I am comfortable in a t shirt). I am also often getting really cold too. It switches.
I have ADHD and it feels like my medication isn't as effective post-baby. I'm struggling with focus and brain fog. I put it down to "baby brain" for a while but it's not improved and is even noticeable to others. I'm often unable to think of the word I am looking for and struggle to learn new things as easily as I once did.
I've been on the implant since a couple of months after having DC. I don't really have periods except I have phases (irregularly) where I bleed slightly (not enough to need a pad usually).
What do I do? How hard is getting a GP to take these things seriously likely to be? I started my periods at age 9. I am obese and struggling more than ever with binge eating and sugar as I am so tired physically and mentally.
I really wanted another child and I don't know what to do now.
What should be first step be?
I know I need to lose weight anyway. It's just hard. Should my priority be getting my implant out and seeing the difference? Do I need to push for a blood test?
